6 & 12 String Guitar serves as a testament to what can be done within the genre while setting the bar very high for any future takers. If you think you got the chops, be sure to give this a spin and test your mettle first. If you want to hear guitar mastery during an era when this genre was criminally overlooked, give this a listen. Or, maybe you just want to refute any of what I’ve said, that’s great too because I’m sure you’ll find something of value within the album. Nonetheless, Leo Kottke is a master guitar player, and this is his best album.
